Help locating archived mail!

I archived some old mail that I wanted to save but now I cannot locate it.  I watched some tutorials but the archive folder shown in the left panel of mail doesn't exist for me.  Where is my archived mail?  I am running Lion.

I actually found it myself.  Way down at the bottom of the left mail panel, there are some ghost/grayed-out mailbox names. (gmail, etc).  If you hover on the right of the bar, the word "show" will appear.  click this and the archived mail for each account will appear.

  • HELP! Can't import archived mail from Apple Mail

    I just moved up to a VERY nice MacPro. I archived mail on my G5. When I go to import it into Mail on my VNMP, it refuses to import. No real explanation, just says it couldn't import. Huh? Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Thanks

    Hi Ann,
    I know Flip4Mac has updated the plugin, but it still
    could be causing you the problem.
    Navigate to HD/Library/Quicktime
    Drag the Flip4Mac component to the desktop and
    restart the Mac.
    See if that makes any difference.
    That was the problem. I can import video into iMovie from iPhoto again. So...now the Flip4Mac components are sitting on my desktop. Do I uninstall Flip4Mac? Or is there another option for using it without messing up my iMovie software?
    Thanks for the help!

  • How can I "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight (and preferably visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App)?

    How can I "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight (and preferably visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App)?
    Background:
    I am using Mountain Lion and Mail App and running out of space on my small primary SSD drive (where I keep OS, apps, key user preferences/data and mail for speed). The mail data is the big variable (many GBs) and I want to "archive"/move some of the old mail to my 2nd drive inside the Mac. But I still want it searchable inside spotlight and preferably even inside Mail too. And I'd like to be able to still drag and drop old mails into this archive folder.
    What I've tried that seems to work:
    This seemed to work:
    1. Move the archive folder/mailbox to the 2nd drive/partition/folder (don't delete anything inside Mail App)
    2. Create a symbolic link from its new location to the original/old location
    This seems to work, it looks as "normal" and as if nothing happened inside Mail App but the folder now resides elsewhere and seems searchable etc. But I'm not sure that once caches refresh or over time with updates etc if stuff will break horribly or corrupt.
    Is that the right way to "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight and visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App?
    Thanks in advance!
    Cheers,
    Daniel

    I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
    I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
    I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

  • How do I add an archive Mail folder

    The help file on organizing mail tells me to go to the mailbox screen and hit Edit.  There is no edit button on that screen.  I want to add a folder to save or archive mail messages as a local file, not take up room on the server.

    Tap the back arrow that saysMailboxes until there is no back arrow just a title saying Mailboxes. You should see two sections under it, one that says Inboxes and another one that says Accounts. Under the Accounts you should see a list of your mail accounts (if you have more than one), select the account you want to add the folder to and it will take you to the lists of folders for that account. Inbox, Drafts, Trash... At the top you will see the Edit button that will allow you to add a folder.

  • How do I restore my archived mail folders after downloading Yosemite

    After downloading Yosemite, all my archived mail folders have disappeared - can someone please help me, I really need to get this information back?

    Do you have a backup?
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then Mail/V2/Mailboxes

  • Outlook 2013 Won't Display My Archived Mail PST Files

    Hi there,
    I have recently upgraded to Outlook 2013 from 2010. I have archived mail in PST files going back many years. I managed to open the first one I tried (Outlook 2003 archive) but noticed it wouldn't display sent items on a common search. I then clicked on the
    name bar to sort by name and it did do it. Later when I went back in it wouldn't display any sent items; it just has the "thinking" dots moving at the top. I left it for 3 hours but nothing. I then closed the archive and moved the PST file to my
    C drive and tried again; nothing. I opened another PST file but still nothing shows.
    Does anyone know what could be causing this? I'm thinking of going back to Outlook 2010 but would rather get 2013 to work properly.
    Regards
    Ross
    Ross Bevin

    Hi Ross,
    From the description, the problem is that the archive.pst file you created in Outlook 2003 doesn't display anything when opened in Outlook 2013, right? If I've misunderstood something, would you please provide a screenshot so that we can understand this
    issue more clearly? 
    What's the file size of the PST file? It may cause unexpected problem if the file size exceed the limit. See:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982577
    In addition, we can try to use the Inbox Repair Tool to scan and repair the PST file to check if it helps:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/repair-outlook-data-files-pst-and-ost-HA102749454.aspx?CTT=1
    Please let me know the result.

  • No content in help window for mail

    When I select "Mail Help" from the Help menu in MAIL a window appears, but it is entirely blank. Even "Mail Help" is missing from the header.
    In the console log it shows the following error message:
    Mail Help
    2006-05-09 14:27:37.557 Help Viewer[577] * NSRunLoop ignoring exception '* End of archive encountered prematurely at 158796' that raised during posting of delayed perform with target 37a9c0 and selector '_setupTOC'
    Help seems to work for other applications.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated

    This problem is usually caused by a corrupt Help Viewer preferences file or cache -- see Troubleshooting Help Viewer.
    The bug is fixed in Mac OS X 10.4.6, so you should consider updating your system software -- you will still have to fix the problem after installing the update, however, because there is already a corrupt file and the update cannot fix that, it only prevents the problem from happening again.

    You might try the following steps:
    Restart the device by holding down the on/off button until the power down slider appears.
    Try entering your password in another location (i.e. when you are using a different wifi network)
    Reset all settings (settings > general > reset), this resets some of your settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It does not remove any of your data.
    Try signing out of iCloud and back in (only if find my phone is disabled)
    If this doesn’t help your best option may be to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

  • Help in the mail won't work

    I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but I'm lost. The help in the mail programme on OSX 10.4 won't work; the small window appears but nothing comes up and I have to force quit to close it. I'm trying to send an attachment and finding it impossible. In the missing manual book it says that I should be able to compress the picture but the button isn't there for me to do this. What is wrong and what can I do to make it right? Also I tried to send an attachment online at the yahoo site but the browser does not support this Why? Any help will be very welcome Thank you. Teresa

    It's alright, but a better place to post questions about Tiger's Mail application would be the Mac OS X > Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger > Mail & Address Book discussion area.

  • How to read old (archived) mail?

    Hi -
    As the subject indicates, I'm not sure what the best way is to read old archived mail....
    Old mail was saved before I updated to Tiger, and don't know if that makes a difference.
    Obviously I want to avoid overwriting any current messages, but would also like to know how to pull archived messages and keep them with my current messages, if possible.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    If these archives were saved with Jaguar or Panther Mail, it does make a difference since the mbox format used with Tiger Mail is significantly different than the format used with previous Mail.app versions.
    You can use the Import Mailboxes feature. Imported mailboxes are placed within an Import named folder kept separate from existing Tiger Mail mailboxes and messages.

  • Mail archival and status of the archived mail

    I use IMAP to talk to microsoft exchange server. When the server complained that the mailbox was full, I decided to archive the mail and delete it from server. Then I imported the archived mail. But to my surprise ALL of my mails in that archive are showing up as "unread". I had about 100 or so unread emails when they were in the server, but I have now lost the knowledge of which ones, because everything is showing up as unread.
    Am I doing some thing wrong in the archival process? Why isn't Mail.app preserving the [un]read status of the mails during archival process?
    Thanks
    Siva

    this is the default behavior. Mail archives messages in mbox format that is used by many mail clients. this is just a plain text file containing the raw source of the messages. read status is not contained in that file. hence when mail imports an archive like this it has to treat all messages as new.

    I need help locating where and how to update Mac OS-X to Mountain Lion.....Thanx....Jay

    First update your 10.6 version to 10.6.8 from the software update under the Apple Menu.
    This will add direct access to the Mac App store via a new application.
    Now launch the App Store from your Applications folder - Its the new icon a letter A formed from a ruler pencil and pen on a blue circle !
    Once launched you need to add your iTunes account details or create an account add payment details etc...
    Sign in purchase download and follow install processes to upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion.
