How can I delete messages from the local Sent folder without deleting from the remote server?

I am running out of disk space on my local machine. Analysing this, I can see that a large amount of space is being taken up by local storage of Sent emails from my IMAP synchronised account.
I do not see how I can delete the local copies from my PC without them being deleted from the Server as well. There is an account setting option under Synchronisation and Storage to delete messages, but it says they will be deleted from both the local machine and the remote server.
I need to keep the server versions as these are business accounts and it is important I have all my old messages stored somewhere.

Short answer: get a bigger hard disk.
You could disable synchronization and free up the space on your local disk without loosing the messages. However, this would eliminate the possibility to create backups of your messages.<br>
Since you mentioned this is important business mail, you shouldn't take chances.

Hi, I have just purchased a Macbook, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone? Ta

The easiest way is to copy the iTunes folder from your old PC to your MB (put it in the Music folder as a subfolder), along with the other valuable data on the old PC. Or restore it from a backup of your old PC. Then authorize iTunes on the MB to the same account you had on the PC. When you sync it will warn you that your content will be deleted, but it will be replaced with the same content from the MB. Before syncing you should also make sure there is at least one entry in iCal and Address book on the MB (assuming you sync to Outlook or equivalent on the PC) to assure that your contacts and calendar entries will move over correctly.
Al alternative that is less effective is to connect the iPhone to the MB without syncing, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. This willl copy purchases music, videos and apps, but not ripped tracks from the iPhone to the MB.

The application ITunes presumes that the information, data, music, etc in its database is the correct master. In doing so, it will overwrite and replace any information previously on the phone. You probably will want to transfer the iTunes data directory from it's original location (presumably the system yoiu used to sync with your iPhone previously), the the new system.
If your iPhone has data from a different Apple ID, than the ID you will use on the new notebook, then be prepared to lose the data on the phone if you sync. It's meant to work that way.

I am having the same problems. My guess is that a lot of people are having the same problems and just living with it. Those of us who know where to go on the Internet come here to find a fix.
It seems Verizon has some explaining to do. Maybe they should try Beta testing new software a little better. I would rather have to wait longer for something that works. I am sure that some manager or director said this is close enough, deploy it and we will see what happens. Well, you are seeing the problems. Time to fix your mistake.
All of us are telling our friends about the problems. The longer this goes on, the more people we will tell about it.
Wouldn't you rather us be telling our friends that their is an error in the new interface and that you are working hard to fix it?
If you want to be up front about this, then just tell us. We are adults and can handle it. If you made a mistake, own up to it and give us some credit for doing your Beta testing in the field.
Customer Service is all about telling the truth and if you made a mistake, admit it and lets move on with a fix. I do not want to be told again that I should be able to unplug it, power cycle it, try the on-board diagnostics, etc., etc.......
I am going to be repsonding on a daily basis to keep this topic at the top of the list.
Time to come clean. You will feel better Verizon.
Let's talk tomorrow.

How do I move my Muse file to the Creative Cloud folder without losing all the links to assets?

I'd like to keep my .muse files in the Creative Cloud folder so they will be accessible from anywhere, and always backed up. But I have many hundreds of links to image assets etc, and am worried that if I move the Muse file to the CC folder the links will be broken.
The links situation with Muse already seems worrying to me — my images are all arranged in folders but Muse seems unable to deal with this properly so can have trouble finding them. So if I move not only the Muse file but all the image files and folders, will Muse still be able to operate, or will I be faced with potentially having to spend many hours manually linking the image files?
Is there a recommended way of arranging assets etc when working with Muse using the Creative Cloud folder?
Thanks

Move from the Creative Cloud to the Muse forum. They will be able to help you here with the issue of Muse finding your images.
The Creative Cloud file storage will do nothing to change any of your files, it will just store them. But you will not be able to make your Muse sight work from within the Creative Cloud.

How can I filter messages that do NOT contain a specific word in the subject?

I want to do the opposite of what filtering normally does. I want to filter out messages that do not contain a word or a string.
For example, I want to display emails that do not contain the word "meeting" in the subject.
Is this possible? If so, how can it be done?

It's not built in. The TotalQuickFilter extension allows NOT and lots of other filter features:

How can I connect my ipod to a new computer without deleting all my music

I just got a brand new laptop and when I connected my ipod and iphone 4 it prompts to syns a delete everything. How can I avoid that. I tried using the manual setting, but once I press apply it asks again to sync and delete all my music. Is there any other way to accomplish this?

That's exactly the way it is designed to work.
When you attempt to sync your iDevice with a new computer/library, iTunes will wipe the contents of the device and replace it with the contents from the library on the new computer.
To avoid losing content, first copy or move the media from your old computer to your new computer. Once this is done, the iDevice can be synced without worrying about iTunes removing the content as it can be synced back.

How can I cancel an app update in iOS 6 without deleting it?

I usually just update all my apps, but this time I don't want to. The app is foxtube (youtube caching player). I just realized (after I pressed update) that the new update disables caching (by request of youtube), which defeats the whole purpose of the app in the 1st place. Currently I paused the download, but how can I stop it from resuming? I don't want to delete it because I don't have backup of previous version in my pc itunes. I downloaded it via wifi. I really like this apps feature because I can watch videos later without buffering, & also to show it to my friends. But the new updates makes it totally worthless. Please help!!

You'd do that if you wanted to add in all your contacts from facebook - it makes it useful to find out who's using other apps - 4 square - whatsapp, facetime etc. I had many facebook contacts that I don't call, however if they are using other things, I might be talking to them. So yeah, I decided to bring in all my facebook contacts. It has created a mess that I'm trying to clean up though. The mess is that I have a lot of duplicate contacts ( a facebook contact of Mary Smith and a contact on my phone of Aunt Mary). I know that when I go and edit one of the 2, there is an option to link the 2, which will then merge the data (adds email info, birthday, facebook contact info, twitter etc) but it doesn't delete one of the contacts. It should give an option to delete one of the merged contacts.. but it doesn't. I'm not sure how to fix this. I've been asking the boards here, but no solution has been given.
There has to be a way to do this (easily) that is

How can is sync apps ans rigtones to my iphone without deleting current ones one my phone?

when pressing "manually manage" button in itunes,it says that it should delete all current apps and restore them with those in its library. but i don't want it to delete all my applications and games... what should i do?? any advice???
thanksss

THIS is EXACTLY why I will be overjoyed to see iOS 5 arrive. They never should have started activating phones at the counter, either in Apple stores or carrier shops. They should have kept things the way they were with the original iPhone where activation had to be done by the customer on their computer.
First, go into iTunes preferences and tell it NOT to sync automatically when the phone is connected. Now plug the phone in. When it appears, go to File>Transfer Purchases. This 'should' pull all of the apps from the phone provided they were purchased with the same Apple ID that is registered in iTunes.
After it does so, you can set up the sync and simply sync them back to the phone.

How can i update my ipad 2 to version 5 without deleting my apps?

Hi, i have recently formated my laptop and my itunes got deleted. I reinstalled itunes and connected my ipad with it. It told me that it does not recognise my ipad that it is connected with another itunes. As it said, i sync my ipad n my music got deleted.

Could any1 help me not to delete apps n install the version 5. i am struggling, it would be grateful thank you.

Transfer the purchases from the iPad to your iTunes library. First turn off auto sync in iTunes.
Launch iTunes on the PC, from the iTunes menu - go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Check that box at the bottom of the window. Quit iTunes.
Connect your iPad to the PC and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes and select Transfer Purchase. This will transfer the apps to your iTunes library on the PC.
Make sure the computer/iTunes library has been authorized - when iTunes is running - from the menu at the top go to Store>Authorize this computer.
