How do i archive my emails

I'm trying to free up disk space on my laptop and need to archive my emails. Can someone help me.
Thanks

Export Mailbox. Per Mailbox or set of selected mailboxes.
If you want a complete Backup of all your mail in one backup (even the mailboxes "on my mac") there is/are third party apps, like Mail Backup Pro.

?? How do I archive my email on my own hard drive ??

?? How do I archive my email on my own hard drive ??
I have lost all of my past email due to provider hard drive crashes on Hotmail, Yahoomail and Netscapemail over five years.
I thought I solved this problem by having an IMAP provider and Thunderbird. Nope, Thunderbird somehow sees me as a brand new customer after six months of files.
I want my email saved on my own harddrive and saved automatically to an archive file;
?? Would you continue with a bank that periodically empties your safedeposit boxes ??
What is going on here ?? Is there a program that will securely handle my email ??

Just create custom mailbox folders in Mail and store all your mail there, organized however you want. Type "IMAP" in the search box of Mail Help for specific instructions about how to keep local copies of your mail for that kind of accounts. Ask if you need more info.
You could do the same in Thunderbird, BTW. This is a server reliability problem, not a mail client problem. Most mail clients, if not all, allow you to do what you want, but you need to be aware of it and configure the application appropriately. Look at the following thread for an example of someone with a similar experience to yours using Mail:

How do i archive my emails & mailboxes like you can do in microsoft outlook

I need to archive my emails & email folders(mailboxes). In microsoft outlook you can do this without it being saved on your server. How can i do this for apple mail?

Hi aouehgeoug,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
In Mail, you can create a mailbox and choose "on my Mac" as the location. This will allow you to store email messages on your computer instead of the mail server.
Here are the steps to create a mailbox:
You can create mailboxes to organize messages. For example, if you receive messages from friends in a book club, you could create a mailbox to store all the messages related to the book club. You could organize your messages further by creating another mailbox inside the book club mailbox for each author you read.
Choose Mailbox > New Mailbox.
Use the Location pop-up menu to choose whether to store the new mailbox on your Mac or on a mail server.
Type a name for the mailbox, and then click OK.

Over the years and upgrading machines, I now have over 20k of emails in the import mailboxes within several folders. How can I archive these in way so the are still available, if necessary, to search, but don't load and slow down my mail app.

Ok Thank you.
I wont worry now.
Just maybe dig in deep and delete the deleted mails that are still around and that will hopefully clean it up a bit.
Many thanks for your help and advice.

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 to delete a Gmail email from the iphone and have it remain on the iMac?

I use Gmail and have the email accounts set up as "imap". I would like to be able to delete emails from my iPhone 5, yet have them remain on the server. I read on the internet that it can only be done by changing the accounts from imap to pop3 accounts. However, since I also have an iMac and an iPad 3, I still want to be able to sync these so the emails can be retrieved on any of the devices.
I supose that the only way to do this is to remain with "imap" accounts. But, there may be another problem. I was under the assumption that once the iPhone reaches a total of 200 messages, it will start to delete any above this amount. In this case, I will start to lose my messages on the server. Even if this is not the case, I don't want the mobile devices to end up with hundreds of emails that I would like saved.
My question is this: How can I save the emails from the Gmail account to a separate set of folders that will archive these forever (if I choose)? Can a folder be set up on the iMac with subfolders for each category that I want? If so, how is the actual move of the email done? Can it be copied to the new folder immediately so that later when it is deleted from the Gmail account, it is permanently saved in the new Mac folder? Thanks

Hello Kailua,
I know that you can mirror you iPhone's display onto a Apple TV, as can you with the Mac, but I do not think you can mirror your iPhone to your iMac.

How can we archive Partioning in parent child tables in Normalised way.

customer_id
Bill_Child{
bill_no number,
Bill_c_no number,

Looks like the new Reference Partitioning feature in 11g is what you want. In previous versions I think you're stuck with the denormalisation.

How do I archive or 'export' mailbox folders to DOCUMENTS?

How do I archive or 'export' mailbox folders to DOCUMENTS?

Hey there BethWB,
It sounds like you are wanting to export your Emails as files, rather than archiving your entire mailbox in one file. You can do that in a few ways, and this article will help you do that in Mavericks:
Mail (Mavericks): Save messages as files or PDFs
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14913
To save messages as files to use in other apps, select one or more messages or conversations, then choose File > Save As.Rich Text Format retains formatting, but Plain Text does not. Raw Message Source saves messages in mbox format, which can be imported into Mail and most other email apps. With Raw Message Source, the header is visible and an encoded version of attachments is retained.
To save messages as PDF documents, select one or more messages, then choose File > Export as PDF.
To save a single message in mbox format, drag the message onto your desktop. To reopen the message in Mail, double-click the file.
If you ARE wanting to archive the entire mailbox to one file, this will help you do that:

SOLUTION FOR UNREAD COMCAST MAIL...so far, so good
I went to Comcast.net and created a folder titled "Archive 10-2-13" and then went back into my inbox on the site and clicked the 'select all' box at the top of the email page. I could only see what would fit on my screen, but figured out that if I scrolled ALL the way to the very end (which was a l-o-n-g time for 30,000 emails) and then clicked "move to' at the top of the page and chose "Archive 10-2-13"..all my mail went there and no longer comes up as unread on my iPhone.
I don't know if this will work for other POP accounts (Hotmail, etc.) but HALLELUJAH! I have ZERO unread email messages showing!

If you select one month for mail days to sync, only one month's worth will be synced and available - the last month which will be constantly changing to the most recent 30 days. Select No Limit for Mail Days to Sync.
Show 1000 recent messages is for the selected mailbox only and if there are more than 1000 messages in a mailbox and you have one month for mail days to sync selected, if the last 30 days for the mailbox includes 100 messages, only 100 messages will be available.
Are these additional server stored mailboxes separate mailboxes and what I mean by that is not sub-mailboxes for the Inbox mailbox?
Since you have had this issue with other operating systems, the common denominator is your Hotmail account. Have you contacted Hotmail technical support regarding this issue you have had with other operating systems?
All server stored mailboxes with an Exchange account should be available with the email client used to access the account. If all are not available when accessing the account as an Exchange account with an email client, something is wrong with your setup for these mailboxes at the server level.
