Filed messages in Mailbox

Rookie iMac / mail user ... why do my old messages filed in a named Mailbox all become dated '9 August 2011'. When messages are first filed they have 'today' or 'yesterday' but anything filed which has been received older than that,
all has the same date?

Hello Stuart.
This should be simple on both ends.
When using the Import Mailbox feature, the prompt is to select the location of the OS X mailbox to be imported, not the mailbox itself.
If this mailbox to be transferred from the MBP to the iMac is on your iMac Desktop, select the Desktop as the location of the mailbox. The mailbox will be made available for import at the next prompt.

Mail transfer - no messages in mailboxes

I transfered my mailboxes to a new computer by copying the files in Library-Mail-Mailboxes to an external hard drive and then dropped them onto a new Mac Book Air. The mailboxes are showing up perfectly but there are no messages contained within each mailbox. Any suggestions?

I assume you're talking about moving mailboxes from an older Apple computer running Apple Mail to this newer destination running Apple Mail.
If so, why would you do it the way you described instead of simply doing a Message > Export Mailboxes ... from the sending computer and a File > Import Mailboxes ... on the receiving computer.
That way, you don't have to guess about hidden files, other file locations, etc.

Filed messages issue, could not download attachment

My Z10 seems to be having major issues downloading attachment from my Exchange account when there's a rule (client-side rule) that files this away. My Z10 is set to show filed messages and to sync this folder so it does come through, but I can't download the attachments (txt files).
If I forward the email to me to bypass the rule (via WebApp), I have no issues downloading the attachment.
In general, it seems as though I'm getting iffy support for filed messages (Gmail, via IMAP, doesn't alert on emails that bypass Inbox and are filed, but that folder/label is set to sync too).
Anyone have any ideas or am I just running into some bugs?

Hey jj619,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
To better investigate why the attachment is not downloading, we will need to gather some logs. Please contact your network service provider and ask to be transferred to BlackBerry.
Thanks for your patience.

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

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.
Please rate any helpful posts
Thanks

An Error Occurred while moving messages to mailbox "Trash-Ben Backup"

I seem to be having trouble deleting messages since updating to Snow Leopard. I get the following message:
An Error Occurred while moving messages to mailbox "Trash-Ben Backup"

Is this from mailboxes in an IMAP account, or rather POP or On My Mac? You might try using Rebuild in this single trash mailbox.

Can't seem to hide filed messages

I am a new BB curve user and I can't seem to hide filed messages. I've set "yes" to this prompt in the general message options, but I can't get rid of stuff I've already dealt with -- read or unread. What am I missing here???

okay I'll give an example, it's easier to understand.
you receive a mail in Outlook, and you receive it on your Blackberry device. On the device, it is stored in the "Messages" folder.
Then in Outlook, you move a message from one folder to another.
There is a mechanism that will move the same email on your device, from the folder to the new one. That automatic mecanism is called "email reconciliation for filed messages". That feature is available only if you have BES (= the corporate Blackberry server). Moreover, you can see that the folders in Outlook do not exist on your device (I am under BES and I have them : menu >> View Messages).
From what I understand from your messages, you are using BIS (personal Blackberry) so you can't use that feature.

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.)

Can't Delete A Message: Destination mailbox does not exist

Got a spam email today and Mail won't let me delete it. Clicking Delete grays the message, but it won't move to the Trash. If I try and drag it manually, I get the error message "destination mailbox does not exist."
And it's right: the To: address is a fake one and NOT one of my accounts.
Anyone know how in the world I can get rid of this message?

Hi Ernie,
Thanks for your help. In the end, my solution was to delete the GMail account completely from Mail.app, recreate it and let it synchronise my mail back from Google (I have Mail.app set to leave messages on the server, for GMail). I now of course have all the 'correct' emails back in Mail.app, without the ones I could not delete.
I can tell you, though, that there were indeed no other files in the old INBOX.mbox folder other than the ones you mentioned. What other files might there have been?

"delete message on mailbox and handheld" Problem

I have 4 email accounts on my BIS 2 hotmail, 2 pop3. After I did a reset on my curve, only one of my accounts gives me the option to delete message on mailbox and handheld. Previous to the reset, all accounts gave me that option. I've tried resending service books, reregistering host routing tables, etc. Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You must to go your message inbox, then to options, then email reconciliation and scroll through EACH email address under message services and make sure "delete on" is set to prompt. It must be set to prompt for each email address.

Shortcuts for filing mail messages into mailboxes

I just switched from ThinkPad to MacBook Air, and from Thunderbird to Apple Mail. I have a big hierarchy of mailboxes (several thousand of them). It is time-consuming to drag a mail message through the hierarchy into the appropriate mailbox. In Thunderbird, I had a plug-in that allowed me to quickly file mail messages into appropriate mailboxes by simply typing a few letters of the mailbox name. Is there anything similar for Apple Mail (or any other tricks for filing mail messages more quickly)?
Thanks for your help.
M....

Thanks for your response.
Actually, the plug-in for Thunderbird works quite well, even with thousands of mailboxes. You type in a few letters from the mailbox name (not necessarily the first letters) and it shows a list of all mailboxes whose names include those letters.
If someone could create a plug-in like this for Apple Mail, I think it could be very useful.

Filing or Saving mailbox messages

Can a new folder/file (such as "save" or "important") be set up as a mailbox sub-account? There doesn't appear to be any edit function for this.

If you have an IMAP account, then you can set this up on your mail server and it will appar on the iphone.
If you have a POP account, then you cannot.

Loss of Content of Mail Messages in Mailboxes

I was wondering if my problem was related in any way to the discussion "Smart Boxes Empty in Mavericks Mail" but, as no one has responded I'm
guessing that discussion has gone cold or I've entered the wrong thread! So, to start again:
Since I installed OS X Mavericks I am losing content of email messages. I can open received email messages from the basic INBOX but - ONCE I HAVE MOVED THEM FROM MY INBOX TO A SEPERATE MAILBOX for filing purposes - all I am left with is the title eg,
As shown in INBOX:
open it and could see whole content
..then after move to File Mailbox:
open it and everything, apart from title and date = gone and irrecoverable.
Even moving it back to INBOX = content lost.
I've tried all the restoration from Time Machine etc with no joy.
If this is not related perhaps someone could re-direct me.

Not ONE reply for 2 weeks!! I can't believe I'm the ony one who has come across this problem! - Is there NO one out here who might have an idea re a solution please?
