How do I back up my e-mail database?

I would like to back up my e-mail in case of fail/virus, etc. Also, to migrate to another PC should/when I get a new one.

  • How to import backed up emails to Mail after webhost move?

    I changed my webhost recently. The email adress remains the same, but I had to change the account settings (server names) for my email (Imap).I have backed up all my emails from Apple Mail by copying the mail folder in user to my desktop. I also backed up com.apple.mail.plist
    I can now receive and send email again, but all the old emails are not in the inbox anymore. So I  imported mailboxes in Mail and it restored all the local folders and emails, but not the emails that were in the inbox. I have all the emails on my desktop in an emlx format and I can open them and read them, but I don't know how to get these back into my inbox. Do you have any idea how to import these?
    Your help is much appreciated. Many thanks

    The right way to do what you describe would have been to use Setup Assistant. That option appears after completely erasing your MacBook Pro and installing OS X.
    You can choose to do that all over again, this time following the instructions here: OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks
    If you don't want to use that method and prefer to import only the old mailboxes, copy the folder from the following location on the backup device to the MBP:
    ~/Library/Mail
    Although you can open that folder, and the V2 folder within it to select individual mailboxes and their contents I recommend you copy the entire Mail folder.
    You won't be able to use the above path directly when logged in to your account on the MBP and selecting the old account's Mail folder. What you need to do is navigate to it by selecting the backup device, then the Users folder, then your user name's Home folder, then Library. Depending on the backup method you used, you may not have access privileges to select it. It will also result in duplication of effort since you already imported emails that were not "on my Mac".
    Quit Mail before you start. Be absolutely certain you are copying the right way; you don't want to mistakenly overwrite the backup. After you re-launch Mail, the "importing messages" dialog box and associated progress bar will appear. That's normal.

  • How to "roll back" the model if a database update fails

    I'd like to know if there's a way to "roll back" the model (the values in the managed beans) if a service call to a database fails during the Invoke Application phase. My understanding of the JSF lifecycle is that the values in the model are updated before a service call to a database would happen. If the database update operation fails, it seems to me that the data in the model and the database would be inconsistent.
    For example, say I have a ridiculously simple application that updates a names database. The fields are id, last name, first name. The application has a simple view that allows the user to update a name in the database. The user updates the last name field for a particular record from "Doe" to "Smith" and clicks "submit". The request goes through the lifecycle, the model values are updated from the web form during the Update Model Values phase, then the call to update the database fails during the Invoke Applications phase (the database connection failed). When the Render Response phase completes, the UI would display an error message where I put <h:messages> but the last name value in the UI would show "Smith" instead of "Doe". Is there something I can do to roll the model value back to "Doe" if the database call fails?
    I know that I could redirect to a technical error page, but I'd like to avoid it unless it is the best thing to do.
    I'd appreciate any advice you can offer.
    Thanks.

  • How to Get Back my Deleted Mac Mail ???

    I need serious help ... !!! I accidentally deleted a folder (with lots of folders inside!) of very important e-mail containing years of research ... !!!
    Is there any possible way to get it back? I was trying to change the names of folders, from lower case to upper case, and I got a message telling me that I couldn't do that, because there was already a folder like that.
    I saw an extra folder, and clicked on it, but there appeared to be nothing in it, so I chose Delete from the menu. Only to find out it was the real folder with many other folders inside.
    I’m using Mac Mail, OS X 10.4.11 -- I did NOT choose Erase Deleted Messages from the menu yet ... !!! Is there still hope to recover all those deleted messages .... ???
    I need to get that e-mail back somehow ....
    Any suggestions ... ??? Help !!!

    Not very likely, but It's possible, but you must quit using the Computer immediately.
    Either boot this one in Target mode...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    And recovering from another Mac, or booting this Mac from another HDD, then using Data Rescue II...
    http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
    (Has a Free Demo to see if it could or not, but you'll need another drive to recover to).
    Or professional Data Recovery Services.
    BUT, every second you use that Mac the chances will be slimmer.

  • HT201342 How can I back up mails from my other accounts to my iCloud account?

    How can I back up mails from my other accounts to my iCloud account?

    iCloud doesn't back up email.  If you are using an IMAP email account your email is stored on your email provider's server.  Your iPad backup only backs up your email account settings, not your email.

  • I have just started using Time Machine. I was thinking about deleting old E-Mails on my Mac to clean. Does Time Machine back up the E-Mails , if so how can I find them in Time Machine ??

    I have just started using Time Machine. I was thinking about deleting old E-Mails on my Mac to clean. Does Time Machine back up the E-Mails , if so how can I find them in Time Machine ??

    If you back up your mac before deleting your emails, Time Machine should back up your e-mails.
    I never tried this so i'm not sure to find them in Time Machine. To browse in your backups simply click the Time Machine icon in your dock. In the right bar, you can select an backup. Than you can browse in finder, in your backkup.
    EDIT: Just browsed and CT above was right. This topic might help you:

  • How do I know if time machine is backing up my apple mail? I need to have copies of all of my emails, so there I have a lot of mail files. I was told that if I change computers, that the mail files will all be on time machine. Is this true? Thanks, Dave

    Is there a way to verify  if time machine is backing up my apple mail?  I was told that if I change computers, that the mail files will all be on time machine and can be easily be put on a new computer using my time machine backups.  Is this true? Thanks, Dave

    Having deleted some Mail messages by mistake, I have had to recover them from TM. I can tell you that the recovery of mail messages will be done at the mailbox level. In my case it was half of the messages in a mailbox. So I recovered the complete mailbox from TM. Then I copied the messages from the recovered mailbox back into the mailbox I use in Mail. I hope that helps.
    Please be aware that TM is a backup application and not an archival application. What that means is that if your TM drive gets full, it will get rid of older files which could be mail messages to make space for newer backups. You might want to consider archiving your mail instead of using TM if you need to maintain your mail messages for extended periods of time.

  • How do you restore accidentally deleted e-mail from a back-up?

    I accidentally deleted some important e-mails.  I have an external hard drive with backups, but I'm not sure how to go about it nor where they go.  I'm using Entourage on a desktop Mac with OS 6.8.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    If the mail account is a IMAP or Exchange account that is how it works. Those accounts synchronize mail on all devices.
    If the mail account is a POP3 account the go to Settings>Mail>the mail account>Advanced>Deleted Messages>Remove and set to never.

  • Email messages now show "To: me" instead of the name or email address and I want to know how to change back to the way it was.

    I use several yahoo email addresses and it has always been very convienent to see if it is a personal or business related message by simply seeing the To: line. Now all of sudden all I see is "me" and it is not at all helpful. I didn't make the change nor authorize it to be done. I am not even sure if this is a Firefox issue or a Yahoo issue. I would like to know how to change back to show the full email name or address.

    hello shackiraq, you'd have to contact yahoo's support about this issue - firefox doesn't handle your emails but just renders a website like it is provided to you by the server of a webmail service.

  • How can I resend an IPhoto e-mail with the wrong address?

    How can I resend an IPhoto e-mail that was returned because of an error I made in the address?

    ImagineThat:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There is a 3rd party application, pdf-RecoverPro, that will let you lock the file to printing, changing, etc. You set two passwords, one to let the user view it and one to unlock the restricted features. Just provide the first password and send the file. You can try the demo version. It just saves one page in demo mode.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • My iCloud mail is used in my old apple id, how can i move my old iCloud mail to my new apple id

    my iCloud mail is used in my old apple id, how can i move my old iCloud mail to my new apple id

    If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can I restore my icloud e-mail address?

    How can I restore my iCloud e-mail address?

    You can't change and iCloud email account address once created.  You can either create a new iCloud account, or add an @icloud.com email alias address to the existing account, which will receive email in your existing iCloud inbox (more details here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.
    If you would rather create a new account and keep your data, start by saving any photo stream photos on your phone that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.  When you turn Mail on you will be asked to create your new iCloud email address.  Type carefully as it cannot be changed later.
